Mama Don't Allow



It's back to those old-timey songs again. I just love the Ink Spots (pictured) version of this one. I also had the Kirby Allan rock'n'roll version so I went over to eMusic to see what else I could find. They had a whole raft of 'em there so I listened to a ton of previews and downloaded the pick of the litter for ya.
Quite a few different people claim composer credit here but the majority vote seems to go to Charles "Cow Cow" Davenport (pictured). But just to be sure I checked the Muppets show where Dudley Moore sings it and Kermit The Frog does say that Davenport was the composer - that confirms it.
On the video we have Bing Crosby rockin' out with Jose Feliciano. I know the picture quality is Grade Z on this one but it's worth it to watch the Feliciano guitar pyrotechnics.
